I downloaded Firefox 4 and it won't open unless I open Thunderbird first.

Thank you.  I noticed that the file on my computer was not as large as it was supposed to be, so I downloaded it first thing this morning and was able to open and install it.  Thanks for the help to all.

  • I just downloaded Firefox and it won't open, message "The procedure entry point ?js_NextActiveContent@@YAPAUJSContext@@PAUJSRuntime@@PAU1@@Z could not be located in the dynamic library js3250.dll. What is the problem?

    I was trying to update Firefox but could not. I went ahead and downloaded the latest version but it won't open. I tried deleting, and then reinstalling, same problem. I am running AVAST antivirus

  • My Safari suddenly stopped loading Facebook, Google and YouTube. Why? I downloaded Firefox and it's working really well! What's going on?

    Over the past two or three weeks, my Safari has bogged down. It will load most Web pages just fine, but YouTube, Google and Facebook just won't launch. I managed to use it to download Firefox and it's working great. Safari is still a no-go.

    Hi Jake ...
    Those three sites require the Flash plugin.
    Quit Safari.
    Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try one of those sites.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    If uninstalling and reinstalling Flash didn't help, it could be a cookies issue.
    Back to the Safari menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Click Show Cookies. Then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Hanging on startup- Firefox and Chrome won't launch.

    My MacBook Pro is hanging on the startup screen with the Apple. 
    I am wondering what else I can try to resolve this.
    *It finally booted in Safe Mode- but the screen froze with only a Finder window open.
    *Restarted it normally and it finally booted. 
    *To get it to restart the next day- I had to boot in Safe Mode- it froze again- and then it booted normally.
    Other troubles: Safari is the only browser that will launch. Firefox and Chrome won't open, although the Apps are running, no window ever opens.
    Here's what I've tried:
    *reset PRAM
    *ran Disk Utility - repaired permissions, verified the disk- everything checked out ok- button to repair disc wasn't an option.
    I've noticed the boot time had been taking longer over the past couple of weeks... shutdown has been taking longer, too.
    Apple replaced the Logic Board on this machine in July.  Could my current problem be related?
    Thanks.

    The G5 is a PPC Mac. Chrome and Fx require an Intel (architecture) processor.

    trying to veiw videos from a website that requires me to download firefox and silverlight.My imac osx 10.5.8 will now download firefox. firfx tells me my mac is not compatible with ffox Please help me ?  Thank you

    There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
    TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
    Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
    Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
    Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
    PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
    TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
    the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
    and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
    the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
    and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
    stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
    -ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
    For more information, visit:

    Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
    But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

    Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits.  However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number.  If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

  • I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

    I have spent hours trying to install Adobe Flash on Firefox and it won't work.

    Seems a common problem.
    What OS are you using, Windows 8 64 bit or something? Win 8 has an embedded Flash Player on it, and I have been told here that if this is the case, installing a new version of Flash Player is not necessary, but Fire Fox needs the plug in. They came out with a Flash Player plug in for use with Fire Fox that includes a debugger, but I have not tried it yet. (see below).
    I have tried installing Flash Player 11.8.800.994  and 11.7.70.224...... and all crash. I think maybe some anti virus software needs to be disabled to allow installation, or the anti virus thinks its malware. I am also not sure if I need to also install Shockwave Flash for the whole thing to work?
    Not sure the following will help and I am about to try it because I am going round in circles, too.
    If 11.7 extended support release works for you, would you please update your success by adding a reply at the bottom of your original post, and let us know what you did that worked?
    Good luck!
    Announcement: Attention: Please read for important changes to Flash Player 10.3
    Hide Details
    Beginning July 9th, 2013 we will be updating the version of our "extended support release" from Flash Player 10.3 to Flash Player 11.7 for Mac and Windows.  To continue to stay current with all available security updates you will need to install the 11.7 extended support release or update to the most recent available release (11.8, etc.)  For full details, please see this blog post:

  • I just received this message: "*** Collection __NSArrayM: 0x610004449540 was mutated while being enumerated."  and it won't allow me to open or place any documents FROM photoshop but.......

    I just received this message: "*** Collection <__NSArrayM: 0x610004449540> was mutated while being enumerated."  and it won't allow me to open or place any documents FROM photoshop but I can open files from finder into photoshop. HELP! I just recently got a new iMac and have faced this problem before, we thought it was a permissions error from where we rebooted the computer from. Because of this we just wiped the computer and recently re-installed everything. Now 2 days after re-installing all programs including photoshop I'm receiving these errors. Why is this happening and how can I fix it!?

    ok, i've just run a specific test.
    1 - Online, ensure that mail is sync'd
    2 - Disable network connection, confirm that mail has moved to offline mode
    3 - Delete 20 messages in a folder
    4 - Conifm they have been deleted (whilst still offline)
    5 - Re-enable network connection, leave machine alone for 5 minutes
    6 - Confirm that messages haven't been deleted and are still in the folder untouched
    7 - Whilst still online, try to delete one or more of the messages, they vanish for a moment, then re-appear
    8 - ***
    Can replicate this at will......surely this isn't just me?
    Seems I'm back to Outlook again

  • Downloaded Firefox and installed...but nothing

    Downloaded Firefox and installed but when I type an address example : "facebook.com"....press enter.....NOTHING...NOTHING at all.....I did uninstall and then reinstall and still nothing...can you please share your wisdom...Thank you in advance for your help.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    I just downloaded Acrobat and it won't work. Why won't it work? I keep having it quit unexpectedly when I try to launch it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried restarting my computer.  Any suggestions? I fit all they system requirements.

    Hi again CueBallMcDraw,
    What operating system are you on? If your issue isn't related to your subscription being in a pending state (as I discussed in your other post), we'll look closer at what's going on with your system. But, I suspect you're going to be fine once your order finishes processing.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
